STAFF and volunteers in a holistic cancer care centre have taken delivery of a computer and accessories, thanks to the Freemasons.

The Acklam Lodge, in Middlesbrough, provided £1,200-worth of equipment to help with the running of the charity at the James Cook University Hospital.

Master of Acklam Lodge Ben Doree said: "We hope the centre gets good use out of the computer for many years to come and we will endeavour to raise money for the charity again in the future."

Centre manager Sue Stephenson said: "It is wonderful - and something we desperately needed - my computer was certainly past its sell-by date.

"They have bought the complete works for the centre and we are really grateful for their generosity."
